Sowing Media:Lightly fertilized peat, pH 5,5-6,0.

Sowing: Use 91-plug tray. After sowing the trays are watered, but be careful that the media is not getting too wet, as that might result in poor germination. Seeds may be covered with a light layer of Vermiculite and the trays are then covered with plastic.

Germination temperature:20-22° C (68-72° F).

Germination:Remove the plastic before the plants start
to strech. After germination, the temperature is lowered to 18° (64° F), and the plants moved to a light area with good air condition.

Potting:When the plugs are 6-7 weeks, transplant into a 10-11 cm pot using a well fertilized peat, pH 5,5-6,0.

Growth regulation:Only one growth regulation is recommended. To encourage the generative development 0,1-0,2% Alar can be applied when the plants are 5-6 weeks. Growth regulation later on is not recommended, as it will reduce the size of the fruits. The control growth ensures that the soil is dry prior to each watering and do not over-water at any time.

Growing on:4-5 weeks after potting the plants are spaced to 30-36 pots per m2. To avoid stop of growth or leaves at the basal part of the plant turning yellow, it is important that Capsicum is always well fertilized.
To produce a nice product good light conditions and good ventilation is needed.
